CAMP ALGER, Va., June 8, 1598. Attention has been divided at Camp Alger tocay betwecn the ccncentration of the trcops, a dispute between Col. Girard and his subordinate surgeons, and the arrival of several new brigade or division commanders. Under the terms of the gen- eral order governing the transfer of the several regiments no two were to move on any day. Yesterday, however, five regiments were moved, two in the morn- ing, the others in the afternoon. Among the regiments ordered to move curing the morning were the 6th Fenn- sylvania and the 7th Mllinois. The 6th Pennsyivania had left its old camping grounds and taken up its new quarters before 10 o'clock. This the 7th Illinois might easily have done also. Word was received from headquarters, however, th they were not to move, the reason assign- ed being that the artesian well, now in the course of drilling, has not yet proved a suc At headquarters it was said, in explanation of this, that hereafter all regiments would remain in their present quarters until an adequate water supply had been procured for them elsewher2. Additional apparatus for sinking such wells was delivered to various parts of the camp yesterday afternoon. This has been put into operation at available points, so that the further mobilization of the corps and its organization into permanent brigades and divisions may be delayed. It has so happened that only one regiment was moved today. Gen. Gunther's Ulness. In consequence of Brig. Gen. Francis L. Gunther's continued illness, General Gra- ham: decided last nicht to reliev2 him of the command of the Ist division. His place fs to be taken by Maj. Gen. M. C. Butler. It is hoped that by the time the 3d division is well organized General Gunth>r will have recovered perfect health. Meanwhile he has been assigned to the command of that di- vision. Brig. Gen. Geo. Garrtson of Co- Ivmbus, Ohio, who reported to Major Gen- eral Graham several days ago, today as- sumed actual ccmmand of the 2d brigade. The regiments in the brigade of which he assumes command were formerly the 6th Massachusetts, the 6th Illinois and the 8th Okio. But today, when General Garretson first reported for active duty, the 9th sep- arat> talion, Ohio Volunteers (colored), was added to this list. When all three reg- iments are recruited up to their full strength this will be the largest brigad> in the corps. The commissary department has been able by dint of a great deal of work to or- ganize the quartermaster sergeants into an 2fficient and competent corps. Little com- plaint is heard, consequently, of delay in the i of food supplies. Today Lieut. Col. James N. Allison was assigned as chief of this department. Major Martin of the .qvartermaster’s department and Capt. John Little, acting chi2f commissary, both at Dunn Loring, will doubtless continue the work at that place. Major Emory McMi- chael, who reported for duty yesterday, has been today engaged in organizing the adju- tant general's office of the 3d division. This concludes the list of arrivals at headquar- ters today. Order Relating to Hospitals. Col. A. C. Girard’s most recent order re- lating to the administration of the regi- mental hospitals was issued late yesterday afternoon, and reads as follows: All regimental surgeons are directed to send any hospital tents they may have, except one, and all medical department furniture to the hospitals of their respective divisions immediately upon the receipt of this order. The regiments of the unassigned brigade will send them to the 2d Division hospital. Each regiment should keep only its medical and surgical chests or whatever they have to take their place and the medicines issued to them to treat the men sick in quarters. Receipts for the property will be given by the executive officers of the hospitals. Previous directions were sent out by the surgeon-in-chief to the effect that all seri- ous cases were to be sent to the division hospitals for treatment and that such treat- ment would be altogether within the prov- ince of the authorities of that hospital. ‘This last order has excited no small op- position among the regimental surgeons. The principle on which the medical depart- ment is organized, they say, is that each regiment shall care for its own ill, and that the regimental hospitals shall be as fully equipped as possible, in order to do this work thoroughly and speedily. Since Col. Girard first assumed control of the medical department he has been steadily engaged in organizing larger hospitals for the treat- ment of their patients. In order to equip these hospitals, the department has issued almost unlimited supplies—a great deal in excess of the issue authorized. One conse- quence of this is that the regimental hospi- tals have been compelled to do without even the most necessary articles of equip- ment—cots, medicine, bandages and _stic: ing plaster. Now comes this last order, di- recting that each regiment shail turn ov to the larger hospital, already equipped its expense, everything except the appara- tus needed for treating the simplest com- plaints. From the time the division hospital was organized until the issue of the order quot- ed above Col. Girard’s staff surgeons and the regimental surgeons have been growing more and more estranged. The order in- dicated was the last step. Hereafter, if present indications count for anything, Col. Girard can count on little support fron. the body of his fellow-practitioners enlisted in the volunteer service. No Serious Cases Today. No especially serious cases have been re- ported today. The ist Division hospital is practically full. Most of the patients suf- fer from measles or mumps. Some few ave fevers and some extremely severe colds. As yet the authorities have not been able to so organize the institution into wards as te be able to give out a list of the patients received or the complaints from which they suffer. Private Chandler Windsley, Company B, 4th Missouri, who was to bé operated upon for appendicitis, as noticed in The Star of that day, died soon after the operation. It was discovered afterward that Windsley was not afflicted with appendicitis, but with some other in- ternat complaint. No death certificate has yet been made out. At the time of the death the authorities did not know the patient's name. A fifth death has just been reported to the camo. It occurred at Fort Myer Mon- Gay at noon. The sufferer was Private W. R. Bailey, Company F, 2d ‘Tennessee, a young man about twenty-eight years of age. the son of wealthy parents, living at Brighton, England. Bailey was somewhat of a wanderer, and enlisted with the reg- iment at Nashville. There he seemed some- what ill, and later when the regiment rezched Falls Church he grew worse. He was sent io Col. Girard’s field hospital, and from there to Fort Myer, as suffering from dysentery. His death was due to acute pneumonia. He has been buried at Arlington, Father Murphy of the 9th Mas- sachusetts officiating. Trouble Over the Order. Some trouble has already arisen. It will be noticed that under the terms of the or- der issued dy Ccl. Girard even the cots, mattresses and pillows in the regimental hospitals are to be delivered to him. In many cases these have been purchased by UNCLE SAM: “RECKON I'LL GIVE ’EM BOTH MEDALS.” the state authorities or given by friends of the regimear. This has made no difference and except in two instances these gifts have gone like everything else to the hospital of the first division. Gne of the exceptions was in the case of the 6th Pennsylvania. Surgeon O. H. Marion had in his keeping a num- ber of hospital cots which were properly the property of the state of Pennsylvania. These he gave over to Col. Girard’s keep- ing. As soon as he saw them go out the door, Colonel Coursen ef the 6th, had four cots of his own put into the hospital and he then announced his intention of keep- ing those four cots there if it required the | strength of the whole state of Pennsy! vania. The other exception was the 6th Illinois, where Senator Mason and Mrs. G. E. Smith had furnished cots, mattresses and hospital fittings. No demand has yet been made for these things. If one comes it is a practical certainty that they will rot be given up. The Sanitary Conditions. Considerable difficulty seems to attend the preparation of reports on the sanitary condition of camp sites. So far nothing has been heard at Camp Alger from the commission appointed to look into the health of the ground now occupied by the troops of the 2d Army Corps. Several days ago a second commission was appointed to Investigate a situation below Alexandria. Under the terms of the order creating the commission the examination was to be made yesterday. The beard met yesterday morning and adjourned immediately, in or- der to permit Col. Girard, one of its mem- bers, to conduct the cperation mentioned above. Today, unless something else should intervene, the board means to spend the afternoon on the ground in question. Mean- while, one of the members of the board slipped into Washington and looked into the war records at the department. From their coaversation the board is predispos- ed to reject the site. Aaother Liquor Case. Provost Marshal Volrath has added an- other scalp to his belt. ‘The last victim is Charles I. West, who represents himself as one of the firm of Campbell, West & Davis. Mr. Campbell is the owner of the ground on which the corps is. encamped. Mr. Davis was formerly the conductor of the canteen which General Graham closed. Lieutenant W. O. Rutherford, Company B, Sth Ohio, was officer of the guard placed about Ist Division headquarters. He and Sergeant T. Smith, Company E, &th Ohio, both noticed kegs of beer disappear- ing over the top of the hill beyond the old canteen, and swooped down on them with the guard. West surrendered at once. Mr. Davis reported shortly afterward to learn what could be done to secure West’s re- lease. Mr. Campbell, who Is now under indictment for the same offense, took no part in the proceedings. West is to be tried at Falls Church today by the civil authorities. Other institutions near the old canteen are also under suspicion. Brief Mention. A stand of colors was presented the 34 New York today by the New York City Chapter of the Sons of the Revolutio: Company L, Capt. Sadler, commanding, Was delegated to receive the prize. The Daughters of the Revolution sent a box of magazines—not old ones, all falling to pieces, but magazines of current issue, all in good condition. Stamps have been received by most of the chaplains in the corps for ase in franking through soldiers’ lc “Soldier Letter, Coliect posvage fro: dressee , Chaplain, . ment, Voluntee in Private Wright, Company G, 7th Ohio, is to be sent home today.

The ceremony will take place either tonight or tomorrow morning. in Honor of Congressional Delegation The 9th Battalion of Ohio Volunteer In-- fantry, Major Charles Young, the colored soldiers at Camp Alger, have arranged, for an entertainment tomorrow, Thursday, evening at 7 o'clock, at the headquarters of the battalion, in honor of the congr: sional delegation from Ohio, Gen. Graham and staff, and the regimental! officers at Camp Alger. ‘Phe senators and representa- tives from Ohio have been invited to be present, and most of them have already accepted. ‘There will be dramatic reading by Chas. Burroughs of Texas, who is an clocutionist of note, and a graduate of the Boston School of Expression, assisted by Pavl Lawrence Dunbar of Ohio, the colored poet. Capt. Walter 8. Thomas of the 9th Ohio is in charge of the arrangements for the entertainment, and will act as master of ceremonies, eee Hucksters’ Calls. Tcday when cases of hucksters for call- ing strawberries were called in the Police Court Prosecuting Attorney Pugh called the attention of Judge Scott to the amend- ment made to the regulation yesterday. Clarence Lyon, colored, was tried and it was the policeman’s idea that. he could have been heard about a square away. This, Mr. Pugh suggested, was a reason. able tone, and Judge Scott: dismissed the case, remarking that each case would stand on its own merits. James Davis, charged with a similar offense, failed to pespont and his collateral, $1, was for- feited. CONSTRUCTOR HOBSON’S ACT. The President Expected to Direct Congressional Attention to It. It is expected that the President will bring the case of Naval Constructor Hob- son and his brave associates on the Merri- mac to the attention of Congress in a day or two, with a view to having some official recognition of their heroic service in sink- ing the Merrimac in the channel of San- iago and making prisoners of Admiral Cervera’s cruisers. Constructor Hobson, who is now one of the junior officers of the cerps, with the relative rank of leutenant Gunior grade), will undoubtedly be ad- vanced at least ten files, thus giving him the relative rank of commander and Plac- ing him near the head in the list of naval constructors. In case he should prefer a trensfer to the line of the navy, the Presi- dent will undoubtedly recommend that such action be taken by Congress, The case of the seven enlisted men who accompanied him on his hazardous expedi- tion is partly covered by existing statutes. Section 1407 of the Revised Statutes pro- vides that “Seamen distinguishing them- selves in battle or by extraordinary heroism in the line of their profession may be fro- moted to forward warrant officers, upon the recommendation of their commanding officer, approved by the flag officer and the Secretary of the Navy.” The statutes also provide that when sea- men have been recommended for promotion in this way “they shall be given a gratuity of $100 and a medal of honor to be pre- pared under the direction of the Navy De- partment.” There is no doubt whatever that this ecurse of action will be followed in the present instance. Admiral Sampson, the flag officer in this case, has been calléd upon by the department for a report of the Merrimac expedition, and to include in his report the names and ratings of all the participants. It is expected that Admiral Sampson will submit his report without un- necessary delay and supply all the infor- mation necessary to secure the men of the Merrimac the reward they so richly de- rve. Warrant officers hold important po- sition and are treated with great consid- eration. Their pay ranges from $1,200 to $1,800, and they are-entitled to all the bene- fits of the retirement clause. ——_-e+_______ GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SUPPLIES. Lowest Bids Received by the Board Appointed to Open Them. The board appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to examine the bids recently received for furnishing supplies to the geo- logical survey made its report today, which was approved. Contracts will be awarded accordingly to the lowest bidders. Fifty-five bids were received. The fol- lowing bidders, because of failure. to com- ply with instructions, were thrown out: Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, H. H. Brown, R. H. Moran, H. F. Miller & Son, Manhat- tan Electric Supply Co., Preston, Fiddis Co., Hugh Reilly and A. J. Wolf. No bids were received on paper bags, tin boxes for specimens, lantern slide boxes, diamond bort, files, rain gauges, pasteboard trays, benchmark posts, benchmark tablets, adhesive cloth, royal Berlin porcelain cru- les, scratch brushes, leather cloth, as- rted files, small magnifying glasses, Swain’s lubricators, sauce pans, steel rules and starch. The director of the survey was according- ly directed to purchase these suppli2s in open market. The lowest price offered on wood alcohol for use in mounting specimens Was $40 a barrel, but this being considered 2xorbitant, it was rejected and it will be purchased in open market. The director of the survey filed a protest against W. A. Pate of this city because of cerelessness in fulfilling orders in tne past, and his bids were rejected. The following are the successful bidders: Shoemaker & Busch, R. H. Luthier, Ru- dolph, West & Co., Geo. F. Muth, Aaronson & Raffel, F. A. Schmidt, E. J. Brooks & Co., E. Scott Tayne, Louis Hartig, James B. Lambie, Z. D. Gilman, Mackall Bros., Geo. A. Sheehan, Thos. W. Smith, Church & Stephenson, Bachrach & Bro., E. J. Pull- man, Houghton & Delano, E. & H. F.

S, Hgrah jat Mount Pleasant several nights ago, and whose chances for recovery were regarded as very slight, was reported at the Emergency Hos- Pital this afternoon as steadily improving. > 0 Boy Under Suspicion. A colored boy named Howard #Vhite was arrested .oday by Bicycle Policeman Estes and locked up on suspictol. He tried to dispose of a silver railroad Watch, and the timepiece is held for identification. The boy says he paid 75 cents'for the watch to an unknown man. The ‘polic® say the watch is worth about $30. a ae TO STAY ALL SUMMER Troops at Chickamauga Do Not Ex- pect to Move Soon, QHIO CAVALRY’S ORDERS REVOKED President McKinley Will Be Invited to the Camp. VIsIt TO BE ON JULY 4 CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILI- TARY PARK, Tenn., June 8.—The Ist Ohio Cavalry has been ordered to discontinue preparations for departure. It has been un- derstood for several days that this regi- ment would move as scon as it could get in readiness. The reason for the change in orders is not apparent. A number of regi- ments are scheduled to arrive during the next few days. The 1st Kentucky is due tonight. The talk of transferring the army or any part of it is about at an end, and the men are settling down for the summer. Hard Drilling Continue: ‘The usual hard drills and maneuvers are employing the varicus regiments of Gen. Brooke's volunteer army today. The tem- perature continues hi, but it is again re- lieved somewhat by a steady breeze. What the whole army is now praying for is a hard downpour of rain. The dust is increasing daily, and unless rain soon abates it, will become an almost unbearable nuisance. Thousands of horses and wagons constantly moving along the park roads and the long dry spell have combined to make this nuisance the worst, and, in fact, the only considerable one with which the army has to contend. Gov. Bradley and staff of Kentucky, who arrived last night, spent the night at Look- out Inn and went to the park at an early hour this morning. They are guests of the two infantry regiments and the two cav- alry troops of Kentucky today. In their horor these commands have given a num- ber of special drills. Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania, with his staff, is scheduled to arrive Saturday and spend several days with the Pennsyl- vania 1egiments here. A number of other governors have bcen invited to visit the camp, and it is believed that the invita- tions will be accepted. President to Be Invited. A movement is now on foot to have President McKinley and such of his cab- inet officers as can accompany him insp2ct the park army on July 4. A formal invita- tion will be extended, and the President will be urged to accept. If the invitation is accepted the President and his party will be elaborately entertained by the city ard in the park. The Leiter Hospital will probably be cpened tomorrow. All the most serious cases will at once be transferred to it. The place is an ideal one, and the army patients will enjoy every comfort in it. A large number of the volunteers are still suffering with sore arms on account of the vaccination. The men of the 2d Arkansas have been unable to drill for several days on this account. The 3d Ten- nessee is being vaccinated today. The men of the 1st Missouri were uni- formed yesterday and will be fully armed and equipped tomorrow and Friday. The 1st Mississippi will be the next regiment uniformed and equipped. The 8th Massa- chusetts Regiment is being inspected today by Major Slocum, U. 8. A. Brigadier Gen- eral John A. Wiley of Pennsylvania, who arrived last night, reported to General Brooke at headquarters this morning. Plenty of Water Now. A number of new wells are being drilled in various portions of the park. The sup- ply of drinking water is now ample and the pipe lines furnish an abundant amount for other purposes. General Brooke has issued an order for- bidding hucksters and peddlers going through the park. The order was effective today and the change is very noticeable. Hundreds of wagons have been going from camp to camp selling stuff of various kinds, and a number have been making small for- tunes off the soldiers. General Brooke end- ed the practice on account of the confu- sion it caused and on account of the com- plaints about the poor quality of the things dispensed. ee District Soldiers Discharged. Private Harry C. Thorn, Company M, 1st District of Columbia Volunteer Infan- try now at Tampa, Fla., having enlisted under false pretenses, has been discharged from the army service of the United States. Private N. W. Detzler, Company C, 1st District of Columbia Volunteer Infantry, has also been discharged from the service of the United State ee Shooting Accidental. Prosecutor Mullowny has not pressed the charge against Charles H. Sherman of shooting with intent to kill Charles John- son at Langdon May 10, an affidavit having been filed with the prosecutor by Johnson that he believed the shooting was acci- dental. The details of the affair have been already printed in The Star. It matters little what it is that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. ——-— INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS...
